Introduction to FGT_100D-v6-build1175-FORTINET-6.2.6.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.2.6 for FortiGate 100D enterprise firewalls, providing critical security updates and performance enhancements for mid-range network deployments. Designed as a maintenance release for the 6.2.x branch, it addresses 7 CVEs disclosed in Q3 2024 while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy configurations.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 100D appliances (P11510 series), this build (released September 2024) extends hardware lifecycle support for organizations requiring stable security coverage without immediate hardware upgrades. The update resolves storage-related limitations observed in earlier firmware versions through optimized Flash memory management.
